126 (124 ) East Fort Avenue
Baltimore City, Maryland
( South Baltimore )
.............................................................................

The old Echo Theatre, had been  used as a funeral home. Over the years, there were several movie houses along Fort Avenue, and all have long since closed. The area really hasn't changed much over the years, although the influx from Federal Hill is beginning to see more building along Fort Avenue.
